Re: Intel integrated graphics are not working

maverik35,

one more thing after running modprobe -v i915 modeset=1 , it displays the kernel driver module loaded i915 but the problem remains same of 3'' screen shift to right. Also logs generated after issuing that command i had already replied.

I bolded and underlined the strange driver: i965..That made me think kernel 3.2 has it, but when you tried to loaded it, it comes up with: FATAL: Module i965 not found.???

Please, go to /etc/default/grub and change the driver for the i915 and leave the modeset=1..Then update-grub and reboot.

See what happens...Please, post the dmesg | grep -i intel

If still the same thing, move to /etc/X11 and backupp your xorg.conf, then execute: Xorg -configure. It will create a new xorg.conf in the folder you are located at. In this case in /etc/X11, if not there, it must be in the root directory, just mv to /etc/X11. Reboot.

i had tried manually changing driver from "fbdev " to "intel" after gui loads , i.e. i get logged into my gui, but after reboot it fails to load gui.
Now, Pleas tell me one thing if i run modprobe command before startx , wont it be permanent if my graphics shifts ??How i will be able to revert it back then ?
Also i had tried ppa glasen driver once, it did same and my graphics shifted by 3'' approx and that was permanent and i had to reinstall BT.
So please suggest some backup plan so that if something goes wrong i could restore it back.
